So fall asleep love, loved by me...for I know, I am loved by thee. ~ Robert Browning


"Tell me a story, Ryou!"

Bakura Ryou opened his eyes to see two bright green eyes staring at him impatiently. (He cringed.)

"Amane," he said words slurred and barely recognizable, "It's bedtime, go back to sleep...,"

"I can't," she whined, snuggling closer to her brother who had rolled back over in his bed. All the poor boy wanted was a few hours of sleep. "Tell me a story,"

(Ryou closed his eyes tighter.)

"Please," Amane begged, giving a gentle tug on his hair, "You tell them almost as good as Dad,"

Ryou turned over. "Amane, it's far too late for a story, we have school tomorrow,"

She simply looked up at him, her lower lip pouting and blue hair framing her overly innocent face. Ryou sighed, defeated. No one could say no to that look unless they didn't have a soul. "Fine,"

"Yay!" Amane launched herself into Ryou's arms again and twisted herself in his blankets. She rested her head on his shoulder. (He smiled.)

"Okay, let's see. Once upon a time," ("That's a stupid way to start a story, Ryou...well don't look at me like that! I was only kidding, geez,")

"In the sands of Egypt, the King of Thieves was being pursued by the Pharaoh's guards...,"

(They were both asleep by the end of the first line.)


A/N I think this fluff. I'm pretty sure it's fluff, and I'm so happy about it. Finally after twenty-six chapters this is something that you might be able to call fluff. Of course, the quote in context of the story refers to sibling love, not lovers. Review, pretty please?
